Hi Amos: Did you save your old bios on a disk? If you did then all you have to do is reinstalled it. If not then you must get the right bios and installed it on a Dos startup disk and try to upgrade it. Also check the position of your floppy disk cable. When the light stays on this indicates that the cable is backward or the floppy is defective. Remember you must start the computer with the DOS startup disk. Good luck Jose From: "Ndegwa, Amos" <A.NDEGWA@xxxxxxxxx> Date: 2002/09/09 Mon AM 05:35:59 CDT To: "'techassist@xxxxxxxxxxxxx'" <techassist@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: [TechAssist] Gateway G5 233 wrongly flashed BIOS I tried updating this AMI OAAES052 BIOS but this process was not successful. When I power On the machine it just keeps on giving short beeps whilst the FDD LED is ON. The interval changes when I put in a diskette. Does someone know how to recover this flash BIOS.
